David Toms: Masters run like CIA
In a very uncharacteristic public criticism of The Masters by a PGA pro, David Toms lambasted the "CIA" like treatment that The Masters gives to players, who, in Toms's words, are "walking on eggshells."
Said Toms: "It's still a golf tournament. It's the players that make that tournament. It's Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods battling down the stretch that makes that event successful on television around the world. It's not how green the grass is on the No. 1 fairway." (More here)
If Toms is given the worst tee times at Augusta next year, or, even worse, suddenly goes missing, we will know why.

Funny how you never hear the guy cashing in the 1.2mil check complain about the conditions’ the rough’ or not having his swing coach walk the fairway with him. I always knew most of these guys were spoiled Country Club / Judge Elihu Smails from Caddieshack type guys but you only get to see that side of them when they open their traps. I guess someone from his "team" got to him and told him to write an email to espn about his silver-spoon remarks (see full article). Here is a guy flying around in his private jet, driving a courtesy Cadillac, not paying a dime for balls, tees and clubs making a mountain out of the fact that he can't have his Swing Coach walk the fairways with him and hold his hand during a practice round. Toms needs to realize the Masters is an invitational Tournament. That means if you don't like the Drive down Magnolia Drive, or the check point charley, or the long course, or the ugly green jacket, or Hottie, or Jim Nance, or the fact that your Swing Coach has to ride the rope then DON'T SHOW UP! You are invited and you can always tell them NO! Don't feel obligated to have to walk the fairway by yourself with out someone to hold your hand and wipe your ass. I love playing golf, I love watching golf, but these Country Clubbers can really get annoying when they insult a guy like me paying his $38.50 on Saturday morning to go out and scar up the trees at Canyon Lake GC with their piss and moan. This article is the big reason I would rather watch the lpga then the boys tour. At least with the lpga you have a shot at a possible cat fight in the fairway between Wie and Morgan.
Side Notes: On the 4th tee box today I Let out a silent fart that smelled like mashed potatoes and eggs in a waffle cone. The skycaddie can tell me how far it is to the back of the green but I still can’t hit the ball strait. When I got home I was amazed by the fact that a clean kitchen floor allows anyone to do the moon-walk
Kidd, I like your idea of watching the LPGA instead of the PGA. Any chance you won't watch the Masters next year?
:)
Megan hang on I said "This article is the big reason I would rather watch the lpga then the boys tour." I never said "instead of." If the lpga gets one thing right, other than letting Nat. wear the mini-skirts that look like they are strait out of an Austin Powers movie, is they know where to pick their spots. The lpga does not play on Masters week, plus they are smart enough to run one of their majors (kraft) the week the boys play a C level event. Next year when the Boys go to the new “One good event a month” format the lpga might have to get in the ring a few times, we will see. So to answer your question my answer would be NO, but...
This week I did catch the end of the Ochoa win on Saturday and then watched as Badds and the rubber band man played a game of "who can have a worse round on a Sunday" this afternoon.
I also have this neat little invention called a TIVO so while I say I watched these events I usually don't watch them live and usually don't watch but maybe a third of each, fast forwarding past all of the commercials and the fluffy stuff, looking for Natalie, 75yard chip-ins and the occasional before mentioned Cat fight.
If it came down to it and I was stuck in a room having to watch pga or lpga live I guess it would depend on who was in contention and the situation. Any time my girl Nat is close to the lead I am watching that adiddas outfit swing it. But if the girls are playing Korea vs Sweden vs Mexico like they have all this year I get a bit turned off and start trolling for the pga or let my old lady watch a Patrick Dempsey 80s flick on one of the superstations while I pretend to fix things around the house. (Note another week another non-American winner on the lpga, where is Christi Cano when you need her.)
Couple of side notes: Today at the Kidd Family Easter Gathering I did tell my two nephews that puntang meant pudding in Spanish. Five minutes later I heard one of them say, "Mom can you get me some puntang?" I nearly pissed my pants.
My skycaddie is only as good as Natalie tells me it is in the infomercial.
Megan I hope none of my comments came off as offensive, distasteful, unpleasant or sexist in anyway even if when I typed them I meant them to be offensive, distasteful, unpleasant and sexist. I just clicked on your profile and let’s just say I like to wish you the best here in my Home state of Texas for the next three weeks. I have a lot of respect for people trying to make a living bringing home a $326.00 check while chasing dreams.
Side Note: My new answer to "who would you put in your Dream Four-Some?”: Natalie Gulbis (AKA Nat, N.G.), Kristina Tucker (Ok so I'm hooked on the Big Break V), and Megan Heckeroth (I think I'll go pick up some products from www.Sephora.com now that’s www.Sephora.com).
Kidd, no offense taken. If this dream foursome of yours ever got past the dream part, we will set it up as an Annika-Funkman challenge. If anyone of Nat, myself, or Kristina outdrive you, you will have to wear my Sephora lipstick through the rest of the round and into the Clubhouse...Cheers!
Believe me out driving me is not an issue, neither is out chipping, or out putting for that matter. The part of the game you might have an issue with when playing against me is the old Pencil-whip and I would venture to say I can down more Jagermister on the front side than any of you could. As for the Foursome and the lip paint, I’m partial to the Vincent Longo "Fleur de Flirt (lavender pink #834218)" Although I noticed on www.sephora.com that they do have a Nars "Catfight(nude mauve #557116)" but it's a bit light for my complication, and I have no problem coming back to the clubhouse from a round of golf with lip paint on that might mean someone just might think I got lucky in or around the 8th tee box.
Side Notes: i showed up an hour and half late to work today and then spent the rest of the morning goggling "fashionably late" to see if i was with in the appropriate cut off. Let a Fart in a full elevator that smelled like a Non-fat Vanilla latte burned in a Fondu pot.
Toms quoted as saying, "It's the only place all year where the players don't feel like they're the most important thing there."
Funny, I thought it was the fans that are the most important thing there. How else are they able to make such a nice living?
